Restaurante Casa de Socorro

Traditional Caribbean cazuelas - spicy seafood stews - are served without fuss at a restaurant that deserves its reputation for having the most authentic food in town. The portions are heroic: a starter like the picada de tortuga (stewed turtle meat) - is a meal itself, and a party of four could fill up on the cazuela de marisco, an intensely flavored seafood stew that's something like a spicy seafood gumbo studded with fish, shrimp, sea snails, and octopus.
